Ella deCastro Baron is a second generation Filipina American who lives with her family in southern California. Ella is a professor, hula dancer, and writer whose work has appeared in Last Exit, Fiction International, CityWorks Literary Journal, and various anthologies. Her memoir, Itchy Brown Girl Seeks Employment—a collective text of creative nonfiction—and her current work are ways Ella bears witness to her ethnic upbringing, inherited faith, and chronic illness, her mixed race family, and how it may or may not fit together.

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store.
